Moving the goalposts

8 December 2011

It has transpired that those outside Scotland have been surreptitiously completing the Scottish Government’s questionnaire online.

In an open letter published on an Anglican website, Colin Hart, the Director of the Christian Institute, has written: “Yesterday, the pro-gay marriage groups let it slip that they are asking people outside Scotland to respond, suggesting that the Scottish Government will accept non-Scottish responses.”

The Christian Institute website states: “The Nationalist-led Scottish Government has confirmed that its consultation on gay marriage is open to anyone in England and elsewhere outwith Scotland.”

The Scottish Christian Party has already argued that the consultation is “not fit for purpose”, and in this new act of desperation, the SNP Government has crashed a wrecking ball through its own consultation.

The only way that it can retrieve any credibility for its consultation exercise is to discount all those who have participated from a non-Scottish address.  No study could be considered scientific which moves the goalposts in the middle.  If any notice is paid to these responses it will only confirm that government is not safe in this Scottish Government’s hands.  There should be a vote of no confidence if this is so.

Homosexual-SNP Government alliance losing the battle

This could be interpreted as a “wrecking exercise” by the homosexual community.  Now that it is apparent that the tide of public opinion has swung against them, they hope to discredit the consultation so that no meaningful result can be drawn from it.

These are desperate times with useless bankers, politicians and no statesmen.
